Subject: <lingo-l> Best way to post graphic to web?
I've got postNetText() working to put text in a net directory, but how do I
send a graphic to the web? I'm not talking about emailing it, I just want to
use Director to send a graphic from my desktop to a folder on my web site.
==========
You can use my Xtra vList. You can save your image (member().media,
member().picture, member().image.duplicate()) to one of its
container. The Xtra has a method to encode that to a MIME-Base64
encoded string you can send to your server with postNetText(). Note
that you will need some cgi on your server to save that to a file and
then you can use any standard MIME-Base64 decoder on it (Stuffit or
WinZip will do).
Limitations:
Better to use Director 8.5 as there is a bug in Director 8 and before
that somehow limits postNetText() to less than 64 k (even 50 or 23 K
in some cases I cannot remember precisely). Also Director 8.5 Mac has
also a bug (!) and the limit is 40.000 characters. But no problem in
Windows, and no problem with Shockwave on the Mac.
